Lady Cougars go on the road for C-USA action

Sunday's contest to be televised on ESPN2

Cougar Sports Services

The Lady Cougars go on the road this weekend for further Conference USA action, facing foes Cincinnati today, then Louisville on Sunday.

The Lousville game will be televised on ESPN2 at 3 p.m.

UH comes into the weekend with a 13-3 overall record and thus far undefeated (4-0) in conference play. 

In today's game, the Bearcats will be looking for revenge since last time both squads met the Lady Coogs defeated Cincinnati 84-67 in the C-USA tournament. Houston leads the series 9-3.

On Sunday, it'll be UH looking for retribution upon the Cardinals after losing a 77-75 overtime heartbreaker to the Cardinals last January. Louisville will meet the Cougars with an 11-5 record including 2-1 in conference play. 

The Lady Cougars also look to keep their win streak alive and have the opportunity to reach the 500-win benchmark if both conference foes are defeated. 

Individually, senior center Sancho Lyttle looks to continue her positive momentum after Sunday's performance where she had a career high and school record 20 rebounds against South Florida and a career high four blocks against Alabama-Birmingham. 

Senior guard Joann Overstreet also looks to continue her strong performances as she leads the conference in steals (8 per game) and assists (7.31 per game). Newcomer and freshman Jasmin Moore will be coming into the weekend scoring 45 points in the last 5 contests.

The next home game for Houston will be on Jan. 30 against the Texas Christian Lady Frogs at 2 p.m. in Hofheinz Pavilion.
